What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Profile of Pharmacokinetics

    Levodopa, Carbidopa and Metabolite:Cmax, Cmin, Area Under Curve, T max, half life, peak-trough fluctuation.

    Measured: 5mins, then every 30 minutes up to 8 hours (0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5, 4, 4.5, 5, 5.5, 6, 6.5, 7, 7.5, 8 hour), 12, 16 (immediately after flushing the tube), 17, 18, and 19 hours.

  2. Safety and Tolerability Data Assessments (e.g., clinical laboratory tests, orthostatic vitals, adverse events assessment, physical exam)

    Evaluation of orthostatic vitals signs, ECGs, and adverse event monitoring (Screening, Day -1, Day 1, Day 2), clinical lab testing and physical exam (Screening and Day 2)

    Measured: 2 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Levodopa-Carbidopa in people with Parkinson Disease, run by AbbVie.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 21 Nov 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Profile of Pharmacokinetics (time frame: 5mins, then every 30 minutes up to 8 hours (0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5, 4, 4.5, 5, 5.5, 6, 6.5, 7, 7.5, 8 hour), 12, 16 (immediately after flushing the tube), 17, 18, and 19 hours.). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01484990, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 21 Nov 2017.
